clarcs that Cascy's (FederaD division alone

There was serious difference of opinion
about the line Of march which should bo
taken. There Was q sort of triangle of
authorities to he consulted in forming tho
plan of campaign One was President Lin
coin and his cabinet, another was Gen. Nc
Clellan. a third was the committee of con-
gress ON the conduct of the war, Senator Ben
Wade, of Ohio, chairman. In January, 1sti2,
Edwin NJ. Stanton became secretary of war,
and thereafter was Il most active element in
all military affairs.
President Lincoln had one plan of attack,
Mcclellan another. The presidents plan was
to move on the Confcdcrntns direct at Centre
villo and attack them i'll their stronghold
McClclian's was to go down the Chesapeake
and then work up to Richmond, Va, and
capture the capital of the Confcderacy before
the army at Centreville could prevent it. 1t
has not been decided to this day which plan
was the best. Either one might have been
successful if carried out quickly. AS it was,
therr We're delay and hanging back and argu-
MnNt, while weeks and months were lost
MtCielia,l's plan was finally adopted. But the
fact remains that from that day on Mcclellan
regarded the authorities at Washington as his
natural enemies. In his letters during the
Peninsula campaign occur such expressions
Us these:
''1hose hounds at Washington are after me

In these words he refers to President Lin
coin and his cabinet and the congressional
committee. including in the lump certain
military commanders. Especially he con-
ceivf'! a deadly ennlity to Secretary Stanton.
March :, l'G3, the president issued his gem

troops to prime fighting condition after the
disaster of Ball Run Any OF thc peoples Of
Europe could not have believed t.;nt wc were

were when Mcclellan took command at

gineers, tells how their corps I'D to con-

Mcclellan paid particular attention to the
defenses of Washington, and in course of
time made it a well fortified city. After the
battle of Bull Run the Confederatcs were ad-
vanced dangerously near to Washington.
Centreville, a little town in Virginia only
twenty miles southwest of Washington, was
regarded as the key to the capital. After Bull
Run even that was abandoned, and all the
Union army went trooping pellmell into
Washington. The Confederate forces under
Beauregard Immediately occupied it. In

venced the Confederate hns even to Mum

How Fashions Originate.

eff the merchant talors now in convention
in this city, said ono of our club men yestcr
day. "think they can set the fashion and
make the glllcl youth Of this country follow
it by simply deciding i'll congress assembled
that such and such style of garment is to he
the mode, they are very much mistaken. The
laws governing gentlcmcn's clothes nre ut
present set i'll England by London talors.
When the tailols want to introduced certain
cut on cloth they ask some titled individual to
wear IL garment of that stuff OF pattern, and
allow him to set tho fashion; they don't try to
do it themselves. You may remember the
fate of tho mulberry colorcd dress suit which
was to take the place of tho conventional
clawlrlmmer Il few years ago. A more non
dcscript garment was never invented, and the
pictures Of it in the windows were enough to
kill it. Unless the talors can show more or
iglnality, or rather moro taste, than that,
they had better be content to follow their
English brethren, or wait until we llavo some
one in this country who Gun set the fashion
as the Prince of Wales does abroad.

the middle of April was the advance ut
Eltham's landing. Franklin's men had an
indccisive little encounter with the retrcating
Confclerutcs.
1t took good two weeks for the Federal
army to move from Williamsburg to White
House, where the next headquarters were.
The distance Travelled was forty miles, and a
part OF the army was now within seven miles
of Richmond. Certainly Gen. Mcclellan got
steadily nearer Richmond.
The Federal forces were concentrated be-
tween the pamunkcy and the Chickahominy.
The Pamunkcy was the south branch of the
York. The Chirkahomny lay between the
Federal army and Richmond, Just as Gen,
Johnston meant it should In II war map of
the situation before Richmond, published at
that time day after day in one of tho leading
newspapers of the United States, the Chirka-

After Williamsburg Mcclellan reported
that lie had only 10000 men, In response to
his urgent demand for moro troops, Nc

so to him by way of Fredericksburg. BY
following these points constantly on tic map
the reader will get distinct idea of the
Peninsula campaign. Mcdowell was not
under McClcllans command but led an ill
dependent cooperating army" Gen. Shields
division was drawn from Banks force in tho
Shenandoah valley, and added to McDowelrs
corps.
Mcdowell was ordered to leave Frcdcricks-
burg and join Mcclellan the middle of Nav,
which was the time Mcclellan fixed his head
quarters at White House, on the Pamunicy.
White House was the property of Mary

stood one i'll which Washington cour,cd and

BATTLE OF FAIR OAKS.

May 81 Mcclellan had, on both sides of tho
Chirkallominy, an army of 10000. john
ston, who was well informed of the Union
movements, resolved to attack the two Federal
corps south Of the Chickahominy, at Fair
Gals station. Courli's division was tho OK

pied Fair Oaks, n little railway station

trees there. Between these two points tho

in three columns to the right, left and front
of the Fcdcrals. Longstrcct and ID. II. Hill

Owing to the wretched roads it was noon

their move to Fortress Monroe. They went

transports Twenty thousand men, largely
fresh recruits, had been left at Washington.
All TIE subsequent differences and unpleasant
feeling between Gen. Mcclellan and the

IN CAMP ON THE cHlckAHomlNy.

The historic Chickahominy is n fork of the
james, which rises to the northwest of Rich
moml, flows s";tli"ast"rly, and cmptics into
the river about half way between Richmond
and its mouth. North Of Richmond it flows
nearly east and west
Meantime, carly in May, Norfolk had been
abandoned lay the Confc,ieratcs Cen ITuger,
wlio held it with $4,000 men, was ordered to
the defense Of Richmond. That left tho
james open 10 Federal gunboats woli up to-
ward Richmond
McClrllan's army advanced through the
mud and rain to the bank of the Chick
alominy. Reyes and Hcintzeln,ans corps
crossed it with one brigade. kcarncy was
on the west, at Savage station. Hookcr's
division Of IIcintzclnan's corps was stationed
to tn" southward toguard White Oak Swamp
bridge, Summers, FramkIin's and E'itz John
l'oricrs corps remained on the left or north
crn lanl of the Chielialoniny, with McClcl-
lan's headquarters at Gaines Mill. Keves'
corps wnsunly five mills from Richmond, and
took position at Seven Pines. In Richmond
there was CONSERVATION. A niece of Mr.
Davis wrote to her mo.ler:
"Unclr JEFF thinks VIC had better go to
safer place than Richmond. He is miserable
l fear he cannot live long if lie does not get
some rest and quiet"
In this state Of mind, Mr.. Davis joined
Church. His niece writes: "Unrle jeff was
confirmed last Tuesday in st. I'aul's church
He was baptized in the morning before
church."
1t was expected that Mcclellan would take
Eir!inlond speedily, and the Confederate
government made preparations to leave it.

cabinet did their best to satisfy him. Bv the
last of October Mcclellan had a we'll equipped
army OF 134,2S5 men, his effective force,
ready for fighting. There was an aggregate
of l6s,3lS. The people expected the Young
Napoleon to fight. He talked about striking
nn effective blow and making ''short,
sharp, decisive" campaign, which should finish
the war. Opposed to him at Centrevlle and
Manassas was q Confederate force of $4,000
effective men,
President Lincoln was exceedingly anxious
that the favorite general should strike the
grand blow he had promised. "If something
Is not done soon," said Lincoln, ''the bottom
will fall out of everything"
Mcclellan announced that the crushing
defeat of the rebel army at Manassas" was
us object, and that an advance against it
should not be postponed beyond Nov. 25."
That date came and went, the year 1861 faded
out and 1852 was ushered in, and still no
great blow was struck. In February, in a
letter to President Lincoln, the general says:
VI have over regarded our true policy as
being that of fully preparing ourselves"
February passed and still no "blow," cx-
cept of the kind which one meets upon paper.
BY March the people of the United States
had run upa debt of SG0000O, 900 in cquipping
and preparing armies, chiefly that of the Po-
tomac.

and constantly increasing army lying idle at

Gen. Mcclellan for some time refused even
to communicate his plaa cf campaign to Mr..
Lincoln. Once TIE anxious president called
Gil the general who sent back word that lie
was i'll and could not see him But next day
Mcclellan was dressed and out riding. To all
attempts to urge him forward lie replied that
